Travels in the Old World

The page at which Sternschau's Astronomical Records was open at. It reads:

IN THIS TWO THOUSANDTH,
THREE HUNDREDTH AND
SECOND YEAR OF OUR EMPIRE
ON THE NIGHT OF THE
ILL-OMENED HEXENSTAG,
MORRSLIEB DID SHINE WITH
A GREENE AN UNNATURAL
LIGHTE AND ITS SHAPE WAS AS
IF IT BORE A GRINNING
COUNTENANCE OF MOST
HORRYBLE APPPEARANCE

THE HEAVENS WERE FILLED WITH
A GREAT NUMBRE OF
SHOOTINGE STARS AND SOME OF
THESE DID SEEM TO FALL UPON
THE EARTH WHICH GORANED UNDER
THEIR ASSAULT. AGAIN DURING
THE NIGHT OF GEHEIMNISTAG
MORRSLIEB WAS DOMINANT IN
THE SKY, AND THE FIRMAMENT
WAS CRISS-CROSSED WITH A TRACERY
OF SHOOTINGE STARS.

BEING FOREWARNED BY THE EARLIER
EVENTS OF HEXENSTAG, I WAS
ABLE TO TRACKE THE CORSE OF
A PARTICULARLY LARGE SHOOTINGE
STAR, WHICH SEEMED
TO ISSUE FROM MORRSLIEB ITSELF,

ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS,
THE STAR MUST HAVE FALLEN TO
EARTH IN THE UPLANDE OF
TALABECLANDE
NEAR THE HEADWATERS
OF THE RIVER NARNE

The artificial lake at the top of the Leider Dam ( Huge Dam) in the Wastelands. When the lake is breached on Angestag 26th Nachgeheim , the water level drop and the lake empties, leaving a large expanse of mud. The lake and its environs are described in From the Leider Dam
